Overview
From a #1 New York Times bestselling author comes a powerful novel about family, the weight of secrets, the choices we make, and the repercussions of the decisions made for us.
When Bunny Linden abandons her three children with her older sister, Jayne, in 1972, she knows Jayne will be the perfect mother. The mother Bunny, a teen runaway, could never be.
As months turn into years without word, Jayne and her husband, Rodger, a rising journalism star, strive to give the children the opportunity to flourish and feel loved. When Jayne and Rodger finally have a child of their own, a seemingly stable home is built. But then, after nearly a decade, Bunny resurfaces and sets a chain of events in motion that detonates all their lives.
As adults, their children try to reassemble the pieces and solve the mystery that has always haunted them. Who were their parents? What really happened between them? And who is ultimately to blame for the destruction? But will the answers they seek set them free—or lead to something far more damaging than anyone imagined?
Review
When Bunny Linden abandons her three children with her older sister, Jayne, in 1972, she knows Jayne will be the perfect mother. The mother Bunny, a teen runaway, could never be.
Bunny is a piece of work! She abandons her children with her sister, Jayne, and she does not return till years later. But Jayne, has taken these children under her wing and raised them to the best of her ability. It has not been easy by any means. But Jayne did what she was supposed to do. Then Bunny betrays her in the worst possible way.
This is a bit slow moving. Plus, it has a good many details that you do not necessarily need. But, Jayne is such a great character. And she does make some major mistakes. Add in all the secrets…you need to read this to find out.
Now I did struggle between 3-4 stars. It just drags off and on throughout the book. And as much as I liked Jayne…I hated her husband and Bunny just as much. But it does redeem itself in the end!
This is narrated by Helen Laser. She did a great job with all the different voices, especially between Bunny and Jayne.
Need a family drama full of betrayal…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today.
I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review.
